FOLEYS KIDNEYCURE
Makes Kidneys end Bledder Right
.. .I.——.
HOW HE MANAGED Iri
George was quite ready to argue thi
point as he sat down. "Now, then, left
be calm," he said.
“I’m quite calm,” said the girl.
“Very well, then, why won’t you mar
ry me? What's wrong with me?"
"My dear George,” said Violet, “I am
not like other girls. For any other
girl you would make, I um sure, an ex
cellent husband, But the man I mar
ry”—her voice grew moregentle—"must
be a bero, a man out of the common, a
man whose name is In everybody’s
mouth.” She looked at the photograph
of Joseph Chamberlain that stood on
her desk.
George shifted awkwardly In his seat.
"Look here, Vi,” he said, “if you want
me to go about making speeches all over
the place I’ll do it, of course. At the
same time—”
“I certainly don’t want you to go
about making speeches all over the
place, as you describe It,” Violet inter
rupted; Vthere are other ways of being
famous.” »
“I say, what do you call famous? I
got my ‘blue.’ ”
"One sign of fame is the frequent ap
pearance of one’s name in the papers."
"Saturday Sportsman," said George,
promptly. “Every week, and again on
Mondays. ‘Back, G. Hopper.’"
“I don't refer to sporting papers,”
said Violet, chillingly. “Arthur Clin
ton has had some signed verses in the
morning press."
“All right,” said George; “I’ll take to
poetry if you like.”
“My dear George,” said Violet, "don't
be so absurd. I only instanced Mr.
Clinton as an example. Can’t you un
derstand that I want to be the wife of
some one? I want to be able to take
up the Times each morning and read my
husband’s name in it. I don’t want him
to be a nonentity. If I married you,
no one would wonder if I was the wife
of the George Hopper.”
“I do want to be some one,” said
George; “I want to be the husband of
the Miss Thurston.”
Violet smiled gravely. Flattery never
had any effect on her.
“George,” she said, “when your name
appears in the Times, then come and
ask me again.” She added, in reply to
a question of George’s, that the adver
tisement and sporting page didn’t
count.
Next day he called on Ruth Clifford
and discussed the matter with her.
Ruth and he had been friends since
childhood. George poured out his woes.
“Yes,” said Ruth, “it’s very interest,
ing. 1 suppose you realize that she isn’t
in the least suited to you?”
“Of course!” said George. “That’s
why I fell In love with her.”
“I know, as a fact, that she paints,*
murmured Ruth, inconsequently.
“H’sh! No confidences.”
George left in some concern. He felt
that he had put his foot into it some
how. After considering the matter In
all its bearings he gave it up and be
gan instead to think of Violet and the
Times. When he saw Ruth again he had
a really immense Idea.
“You see,” he said, “It’s well known
that the Times reports all law cases with
great fullness."
“Well?”
George hesitated. “You see, the Idea
was, I might easily get chucked out of
the Alhambra to-morrow night”
“George!”
Ruth picked up a heavy ivory paper
knife from the table and went over to
his chair.
“Now,” she said, waving it threaten
ingly over his head, “look me in the
eyes, George.”
Tie did so, admiringly. She had never
looked so pretty.
“Oh!” cried Ruth. “Nowt, then, prom
ise me faithfully, on your word of
honor, that you’ll never do anything so
absolutely idiotic.”
“But, Ruth, dear—”
“Promise!” she said, holding the point
of the paper knife at his heart.
“Yes, yes, I promise.”
About a fortnight after this he met
Violet Thurston suddenly at the corner
of Piccadilly. •
yveu, now are you: sue »aiu, goiuf
him her hand.
“Oh, very well, thanks.”
“I read the Times every day,” she
said, meaningly.
“Indeed?” he said, politely.
“I’m going into Surrey to-morrow,”
Violet went on; “so, if there Is anything
in the Times, you must send it on. 111‘
give you the address. I shall expect It.
remember.”
George was now fairly caught.
"I think it will be Friday,” he said.
“Good-by.”
“Now what on earth am I to do?” he
thought, as he walked along Piccadilly.
It w orried him for 20 yards, and then
he returned to the thoughts that Violet
had Interrupted before. Opposite the
Green park he spotted Ruth Clifford
across the road. He went quickly over
and as he did so the great ptan came
to him.
“Hullo and hooray!“hesaid.
“What’s the matter?” said Ruth.
“Everything. You’re the one person
I w anted to see. I’ve got the most glori
ous Idea.”
“Still thinking of the silly old Times?” ,
“Wait, oh wait! Let’s find a shady
corner in the park and I’ll tell you.
Bless you. dear, you do look ripping to
day! Ami it’s such a lovely plan!”
On Friday evening Violet Thurston re
ceived a copy of the Times, addressed in
George's writing. She opened it eagerly
and blue pencil marks caught her eye.
She read:
“A marriage has been arranged and
will shortly take place between George
Hopper, youngest son of Gen. Sir Arthur
Hopper, K. C. B., and Ruth Emily Clif
ford, only daughter of the late James
Clifford."
MEASURING WITH THE EYE.
Queer Method Employed by a#Glove
Clerk in Taking Size of Cus
tomer's Hand.
While I was In a clothing store the
other day I noticed a man wad his
fist up and throw It down on the coun
ter, and about the same time the fel
low behind the counter rushed up to
him, carefully rolled his fingers up In
to the palm of his hand, clinched his
fist, and threw It down beside 4the oth
er man’s fist on the counter, says a
New Orleans Hlmes-Democrat writer.
That was a way the clerk had of
measuring the customer’s hand for a
fit in gloves. "But how can you meas
ure a big fist with a small one?” I
asked him after the man had secured
his gloves and departed. “I know my
number," he said, “and 1 can general
ly tell, almost to the dot, the difference
between the size of glc/ve I wear aid
the size that will fit some other man.
My eye is so trained that I rarely miss
It."
He was right and proved It by call
ing the number of glove whk*i fits my
hand by a i-urrled glance at the hand,
folded up and put beside his on the
counter.
"You see,” he added, "it Is largely
a matter of practice, and really noth
ing extraordinary about It. Some men,
particularly military men, become ex
perts In. measuring distance with the
eye. Other men are expert in telling
the weight of certain articles. The
experts shoe dealer could look at a
foot and tell the number of shoe that
will fit the foot. So clothiers can guess
a man's waist and leg measurement by
a mere glance, if they really know
their business. The eye, In the long
run, Is more accurate than the tape we
use, In measurirg, because the eye will
take'In a more general view of the
hand, the foot or the body, while the
tape simply gives us the Inches one
way or another."
SOME WAYS OF FRENCHMEN
Odd Institutions Which Have for
Their Object the Hoodwinking
of the People.
In Paris there is an institution
which calls itself an “alibi office.” It
undertakes to prove that when one is
really hiding in Paris he is at Biar
ritz, or some place equally remote.
The patron of the “alibi office” writes
letters ostensibly from any address,
and the “alibi office” has them actually
posted there, so that when they arrive
In Paris they bear the right post
marks. This agency, moreover, offers
its subscribers the advantage of an
address in "the most aristocratic quar
ter of Paris,” to which their corre
spondence can be sent, which will be
opened by the management when the
subscription is not forthcoming.
One result of the anticlerical policy
now being pursued In France will be
the enriching of the museums with a
number of valuable works of art.
These are the pictures of the crucifix
ion which have been removed .rom the
walls of the various courts of justice.
In every French court a picture of
Christ on the cross hung behind the
president’s seat and the witnesses were
supposed to look on it at the moment
they took the oath. On their removal
some of the opponents of the govern
ment declared that the witnesses
would no longer feel bound by their
oath and would perjure themselves
without scruple.
A guessing, contest of unprecedented
bigness gave the leading dally news
paper of Paris, the Petit Parisian, its
circulation of 1,500,00. The contest
consisted in guessing the number of
grains of wheat In a certain sealed
bottle. The aggregate prizes, includ
ing a first prize of $5,000, amounted to
$100,000. It is said that during the
competition, in which millions took
part, the circulation attained the al
most incredible number of 2,500,000 a
day. A special staff of 500 clerks had
to be engaged to sort the wagon loads
of correspondence which arrived every
morning.
A REMINISCENT APPETITE.
Poetic Genius of the Houston Post
Tells His Likes in Prosaic
Rhyme.
I think I’d like to slop the pigs the
way I used to do, and bring In wood
and hunt for eggs and bring the cows
home, too; and grease the wagon and
hitch up the horses every day, and
water all the cows and calves and give
the horses hay; and pump wash water
and stay in an’ churn, and churn, while
other boys down by the creek were
having fun to burn. I’d like to salt the
sheep, I would; I’d like to milk the
cows; I’d like to man a cross-cut saw
and have a wild carouse, with dad the
other end of It to pull me through the
log. I'd love to curry off the team and
feed the cat and dog. And when I’d
got the chores all done and had got
through the rush, I’d like to take a
brush-hook and go out and cut some
brush. I’d do these things again, 1
would, and never heave a sigh, for
’long about this time o’ year I’d get
my full of pie—good home-made mince
and pumpkin pie, and hen’s eggs newly
laid; salt-rlsin’ bread and biscuits like
the kind my mother made; and good
backbone and spareribs, too, a=2 corn
bread spread with grease—these things
to have again would bring my spirit
lasting peace. And so I'd like to slop
the pigs find fed the critters, too, and
churn, and churn, and churn, and
churn, just like I used to do.

The man who starts out to advertise with a set of cast iron rules
has not much chance for success. If he says at the beginning of the
year: **I am going to spend just gi,ooo
this year for advertising and not a cent
more,” he is making a great mistake.
It is all right to fix in your mind in
? general way the amount you expect to
spend, but to have a fixed advertising
appropriation and to decline good adver
tising when you need it, shnply because
“the appropriation is exhausted,” is a

ness policy.
The amount of advertising necessary
depends on the amount of business that
it is necessary for you to do. It depends
on the conditions of trade, and, to a cer
tain extent, on the weather.
Sometimes $10 worth of advertising
will sell $1,000 worth of goods, and
sometimes it will take $50 or $100 worth
of advertising to do it.
Advertising is business medicine,
and should be taken in such quantities t0 *ay f/ZtZT^itu" anJ
and at such times as it is needed. A man doesn’t decide at the be
ginning of the year just
exactly what he is going to
spend for drug bills and
doctors’ bills. If he did
he would wake up some
morning toward the end of
the year and find himself very
dead.

Health of American Women
A Subject Much Discussed at Women’s Clubs—
The Future of a Country Depends on the
Health of Its Women.
I II ■ PIP. Hill ll ■ 111 II Min I PIP 1X1171
At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrua
tion. leucorrhcBa, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness ? There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme
dies in the world. It regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female com
plaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
la., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“1 can truly say that you have saved my life
and I cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years I spent lota of money
In doctoring without any benefit for men
strual Irregularities and I had given up all
hopes of ever being well again, but I was
persuaded to try Lydia B. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and three bottles have re
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you I would have been in my grave
to-day."
Miss Mattie ITenry, Vice-President of
Danville Art Club, 429 Green Street,
Danville, Va., writes:
"D«ar Mrs. Pinkhani:—Many years’ suf
fering with female weakness, inflammation and
a broken down system made me more anxious
to die than to live, but Lydia E Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has restored my health
and I am so grateful for it that I "'ant every
suffering woman to know what Lydia E. Pink
hum's Vegetable Compound will do for her.”
When women are troubled with
irregular, suppressed or painful men
struation, weakness, leucorrhcea, dis
placement or ulceration of the womb,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion of the ovaries, backache, bloating,
(or flatulency), general debility, indi
gestion, and nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
faintness, lassitude, excitability, irri
tability, nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, “all-gone” and "want-to
be-left-alone” feelings, blues, and hope
lessness, they should remember there
is one tried and true remedy. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. No other
medicine in the world has recei ved such
unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles. Refuse to buy any
other medicine, for you need the best.
A light heart, a cheerful countenance,
and all the charms of grace and beauty
are dependent upon proper action of the
bodily organs. You cannot look well
unless you feel well. i
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. Her advice and
medicine have restored thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
